ABC News Exit Poll
"Just six in 10 Wisconsin Democratic voters say she’s honest and trustworthy, vs. about nine in 10 who say so about Sanders. That’s among Sanders’ highest honesty ratings in any primary to date, even approaching his rating in his home state of Vermont."
"Whites account for more than eight in 10 Wisconsin Democratic primary voters in preliminary exit poll results, well above the 60 percent they’ve averaged across the 2016 primaries. Nonwhites make up fewer than two in 10 voters, including just one in 10 who are blacks – far below their average levels this year, 40 and 26 percent, respectively."
"Roughly six in 10 voters today say honesty or empathy are most important to their vote; such voters have been more likely to support Sanders (especially honesty voters) in races to date.
Fewer, four in four in 10, call electability or experience most important, voters among whom Clinton’s dominated."
"Fewer than six in 10 voters say Clinton’s views on the issues are about right, vs. nearly two-thirds who say so of Sanders. That’s a flip of the average of previous primaries, where Clinton’s averaged 64 percent, Sanders 55 percent."

A lot of good things for Sanders here.

HillaryBots lose again!  |
I think the question was supposed to be a bit of fun at the end. It, unfortunately for Sanders, exemplified his desperation through his pandering.
As for your statement that the interviewer was asking the 'dumbest questions', I think you might be trolling? I think it was probably the most substantive interview Bernie has had so far. They actually questioned his policies and asked how he expects to do what he says he's going to do. Surely, that's fair? Even Sanders said they were fair questions, he just didn't know the answers.

You have to put this into perspective. Hillary has been in the public eye for 35+ years. The Republicans have been feeding this rhetoric that she's corrupt and a liar. The fact is, so many have unfortunately fell for it.
As for Bernie, I see it. I think he is trustworthy. I believe that he believes what he says and what he wants to do. However, I don't believe he would be as capable as Hillary in implementing his policies. The interview today exemplified this.

Asking about what happens to the employees of companies is not substantive; Bernie has no control over that. The interviewer was asking ridiculous questions. Let him ask questions like that to any other candidate and they'd have similar answers.

Oh, I didn't realize this was a thread to personally discuss me rather than candidates. Don't worry about my vote.

It is perfectly logical. It is a fair game question when you are talking about the automobile industry, coal industry, etc. about what will happen to workers, so why wouldn't it be a logical question to ask about banks? The only thing ridiculous is the sheer lack of knowledge Bernie came to the table with.

Bernie didn't even have rudimentary knowledge of his bread and butter issues. Very embarrassing.  Better hit Spark Notes before the exam next week.

Apparently Bernie had some god-awful responses today in an interview. Does anyone have the link??? I heard it was awful. MSNBC and CNN are dragging him rn.

Were talking about banks that employ a million+ people collectively....If you are planning to break them up, then your plan needs to include some sort of way to deal with that potential issue.

His interviews are a pain to watch
